It is absolutely chock-full of fantastic people and advice.I am very new to the REI scene, and decided to get off of my butt and start actively participating in this.

To do this, you must first participate on the site and contribute.Please do so if you intend to try and solicit business here on BiggerPockets.

You can also find them at the top of every page: http://www.biggerpockets.com/forumrules.htmlIf you have an opportunity that you want to share, then you need to participate on the forums and get involved in the dialogue going on.

I will gladly participate as time permits.I hope I didn't come on too strong in either of my 2 posts.

It seems that people are having a difficult time with the concept of participating in the forum.

He also is an investor himself and has a connection with a notebroker and he sent me a deal that I am now trying to raise capital for to participate in.

If you are not willing to get involved in the community and give back before profiting from our site, then you will not be able to do business here.It is really not that difficult.I hope to see you jump in and get your fingers dirty by participating . . .

Even with seller participation, the max CLTV allowance is 95%.Regards,Scott Miller

Please do participate in the community in order to get your 10 posts, and continue to participate after you reach that threshold.

2)What kind of participation should I be getting in this type of deal, assuming, that for now, I am not putting any equity in?
